Ferment seems like the way to go.  You could ferment the concentrate or dilute and then ferment.  I would tend to ferment the concentrate or partially dilute the concentrate so that there is a lot of sugar left to be fermented by the saison yeast.

Edit:  I would use a non-killer wine yeast for the fermentation so there is no chance of the wine yeast taking over the saison.  There are some possibilities of getting interesting other flavors by selecting a wine yeast.
Another option might be to ferment the must with 3711 to keep a similar flavor profile.


I'm starting to lean towards using it up right away the more I think of it. I'm thinking to start a lacto fermentation first on some pale wort, then pitch Sacch and some Orval dregs with the must.
This seems like the best and most fun option I've heard.
Don't let the bastards cheer you up.
