I might stay clear of the dark brown sugar then, I want to experiment enough without stuffing it... always a fine line.
I'm tempted to thrown honey in the primary and then use sugar to carb the bottles. I think using honey in the secondary would be too risky because if the bottles don't carb you can kiss your nice big belgian head goodbye.

Well, just by chance my copy of Brew Like a Monk finally arrived this week. Apparently, some brewers do use honey in tripels.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by secondary. You'll probably be better off adding it after the main fermentation has taken place as otherwise you'll lose most/all of the aroma (though you might anyway). Just add it after a week in primary or if you rack to secondary then that's a good time.
