Try adding some molasses at the end for even more sweetness and depth in the flavor
that's an old wive's tale. Luckily though, your senses of taste and smell are highly influenced by the story you tell yourself about food, wine, or smoke. Which is a good thing IMO, not to be ashamed of.
I was just reading teaming with microbes. Molasses just increases total microbial biomass (bacteria mostly). That raises pH slightly, and increases predator activity if protozoans are present (they should be). Increased predator activity (eating bacteria) means more predator poop, which is includes mineralized N.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "flushing" crowd claims N at the end ruins a crop. So either they are wrong (quite possible), you are wrong (also possible), or I have misunderstood the whole thing (very possible).
Let's be clear though, that your plant does not drink sugar through a straw, but rather makes its own from light, water, and CO2, and the sugar it trades for nutrients would be competing for attention with molasses. So you would get more N, and less of the nutrients your plant was trading for. Further, ever smoked sugar? It's not sweet! i suspect what we call "sweet" in smoke has nothing to do with sugar. It's something you smell, just like 99% of the other flavors you know. The only things you taste are bitter, salt, sweet (actual sugar or other sweet tasting compound), sour, and I think umami is also on the tongue.
I say, leave the molasses alone unless you need it to balance your microherd.
