I have fermenting a split batch of wild "tripel" both with the same wild yeast culture that is very belgiany, instead of candi sugar, one batch has a kilo of honey from my bee hive and the other has a kilo of palm sugar I got at the asian grocery store. Additionally I also have (from the same mash as the tripel) a split batch of saison to test out two new wild yeast cultures, one harvested from my bee hive (comb, honey and worker bees in the starter), and the other from Juniper berries my wife collected on Granddad's Bluff near LaCrosse, WI when she was there visiting relatives earlier this year. They're all fermenting away together at 75F/24C, initially it was quite sulfury smelling but that has tapered off in the last day or so. Hopefully they turn out well.
