By right-clicking on the .flac, selecting properties, and going to
audio. Also Totem when playing a flac, displays such properties in its
sidebar. However I am not sure whether FLAC format really has a
bitrate, or the displayed properties are something for comparison with
lossy sound formats.

What is the difference between a 24-bit FLAC and a 16-bit one?
