Instead of "it's not sweeter than I thought" try and use "it's not as sweet as I thought."

"...it's not sweeter than I thought." is strange. It's grammatically fine, but we would not say it this way.
"but it's less sweet than I thought"
or
"but it's not as sweet as I thought."
or
"but it's not as sweet as I hoped."
In all cases, there is an implied "it would be." at the end of that.
I bought the caramel macchiato at a Starbucks today, but it's less sweet than I though. I was bummed. :(
I tend to use "bummed out" like this:
It bummed me out. <---- something disappointed me
I was bummed. <---- I was disappointed

If you mean that you were expecting that the Macchiato would taste sweeter I would say "it's not as sweet as I thought"'

use ‘it’s not as sweet as i thought’ or ‘it wasn’t as sweet as i’d thought it would be’ if it’s in the past
