I believe the answer is:

cappuccino

'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from top composer not finishing round' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'top' could be 'cap' (both can mean to beat or outdo) and 'cap' is found in the answer.
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cappuccino that I've seen before include "Type of coffee" , "Drink" , "Frothy coffee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
