Regardless, good article, but bad examples. The article mentions Munich malt for the majority of the grain bill, but the all grain example has Pilsner malt as the base. ??

I used a decoction mash, and it is very, very malty. I did a diacetyl rest, but I think the fermentation was already finished. I am wondering if the flavor I am tasting is diacetyl, or caramelization from the decoction. BJCP guidelines for Scotch ale suggest that kettle caramelizqation can easily be confused for diacetyl. I've never been very good at detecting diacetyl. Is there some good way to tell the difference? I just bottled a Doppelbock, my first. I used a decoction mash, and it is very, very malty.

I am thinking the high gravity would have to do with the cold temperatures of winter to keep from freezing and minimize the trips to the outhouse. Personally I am a hop head and the IPAs, double IPAs are my brew of choice. Bocks and doppelbocks add a nice variety to beer and ale styles though (it's all good!)

They have relatively low levels of hops for the amount of malt, but hops is still a critical component. For reference, see the BJCP style guide for various IBU bitterness levels for bocks.

I'm curious about where are you getting information about hops in bock? It was my understanding that traditional Bocks contain no added hops, which is why they end up with a sweet malty flavor, and why they are usually marked as "malt liquor" when imported to the US.
