Just too thin. Needs more body

Good general drinking beer, but lacks quite a bit. Not enough hop and the body of the beer is just too thin. Need to mash with more nonfermentables from grains. Higher mash temp and more complex blend of grains along with a yeast with a malty flavor is required. Color was ok even though it appears too dark by style guidelines.
