Have a porter that is still in the carbonation process. It's done for the most part. I tried one and it seems it's to thin. I don't know how to explain it. Flavor has a slight alcohol taste but I spiced up the boil with sugar. So the longer it remains in the carbonations stage will it become more flavorful and bodied?
My beer lacks in body

Let it finish carbonating before judging it. That being said, adding additional sugar tends to dry/thin out the beer.
The alcohol taste will dissipate over time. sugar does increase alcohol in final product. Lastly, im not 100% sure about porters but all my beers tend to get a maltier profile after long term aging and dont gain body. just my 2 cents. good luck -cheers
All grain? If so, Mash temps make a difference. When I want a beer that has a real full body and mouthfeel I add half pound of flaked oats, half pound of wheat and mash at 155. This almost always results in a real full feeling beer for me. Other malt choices could play a role too, as could yeast/fermentation temps.
Plus, as mentioned, the sugar would do some of it too.
