Sweet taste

I just finished conditioning a steam beer . I'm away from my notes at the moment but it finished right where it was suppose to be.
I kegged it. And had a Lil left over. So I poured a small amount in a glass and tasted it. It tasted very sweet. Not like flat beer.
It's been in the keg for 24 hours carbing up. Will this mellow out the sweetness ? I've never had this before

Hard to know without tasting it or knowing if it is sweet due to under attenuation or sweet as is natural with a beer...if the latter, carbonation adds carbonic acid which will help balance out sweetness.

^ was gonna say the same. All of my brews have tasted night and day difference after carbing. The carbonic acid should help. I also recently switched from being an impatient keg shaker to a patient keg conditioner... Again, night and day difference.
